Enhance the control reports in Export to include all criteria for output fields
Please design an optional control report in Export that shows all the selected criteria for any given field listed in the output window. This would be especially helpful when you are looking at an export designed by another person and want to compare exact criteria/parameters with outputs.

This would be a huge help when trying to review the output and figure out which column contains which year's data, which funds are output, etc. Without this information, a control report is not useful for exports.
My current workaround for this is to save the Export Control Report to Excel - and then make notes in Excel that indicate the selection criteria that I used. A report that would give me this detail would be excellent!
If I had to pick one thing for them to fix right now, this would be it. I have to waste so much time going through queries with 10+ summary fields and writing down all the criteria included in each one to check that everything is uniform.
I spent about two hours today just writing out the details of criteria. This is particularly important for Word merge exports. I need to be able to see what each field is while I am editing the letters.
